Heat from a variety of sources is used during the painting process fuse the layers of melted wax=pigment together. Winterhalter's art combines the influences of both figurative expressionism and Abstract Expressionism. According to the artist; "my work attempts to juxtapose emotional reaction with image, memory, and medium, resulting in art that is an eclectic combination of the real and imagined." His work has been exhibited in galleries and shows in the northeast. Since 1980, Greg has taught art and humanities at Southern Vermont College.
